Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5295064, member: 7511"] That’s under the former system. The NCAA settlement imposes a “salary cap” on payments to athletes by a University. While there is still potential for separate “”market based” NIL deals from advertisers, schools are going to have to figure out how to dole out $20.5 million to football, basketball and whatever other sports they decide are worthy of compensation. That may mean giving a star QB $1 million. But you still have to pay all those linemen and linebackers something, and you only have $20.5 million to go around next year. Schools will take whatever steps they have to in order to protect the interests of the University. [/QUOTE]
